Jimmy Dorsey composed the music to "It's the Dreamer in Me" in 1938. Bob Eberle sang the song in the original 1938 version on Decca.

kingoma61 I have the 78 in my collection. Such a beautiful song. However, one of my favorite versions of it was a musical short of Jimmy Dorsey’s orchestra, from 1938.

I thought "So Rare" was his last released recording, in 1957.
